BTW, for more on using APIs, @joshua.hovden, you might be interested in the very recent Bubble webinar on the API Connector. The first part covers some basic API Connector setup and use of external APIs in a project.
The second part covers oAuth authentication and login (enabling a new login method for your users based on authenticating to another service — in this example case, LinkedIn).
Along the way, you’ll see @neerja do a bunch of typical Bubble stuff. Just seeing THAT might be helpful to you in getting going with some of the Bubble basics.
